City Directories

The question was, when did the Lundberg's live in Thief River Falls. The answer was found in the city directories at the library. It is not as complete as a census, however, it is taken more frequently. One may consider calling the reference desk and asking them to look in the books for you. The directories are catalogued in two ways: Alphabetically and according to street/avenue address. The quickest way to gather the information is to write it out by hand, although one may copy it.

The only house standing which was linked to Lundberg is the house on Arnold Avenue. The house appears to be added on to from the east, west, and north. The little windows Phillip looked out when he was bed ridden remain. The tree we tied the horses to remains. The front porch which was flanked by Tiger Lilies in the summer, is gone. I wondered if Phillip and Mae's initials were still etched in the sidewalk. The gladioli garden hosts a three stall garage which butts up to the St. Bernhard's Cemetery gate. Gone are the wild raspberries which grew along the fence line.

Anyone want to play Jacks on the front porch?
